James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-4156:
--------------------------------------------
Current requirement is that you don't need it to build.
Like I said, I like the idea... but it would need buy-in from others on the
team.
> Using boost spirit instead of lex and yacc
> ------------------------------------------

> Key: THRIFT-4156
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4156
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Reporter: Mike Gresens
>
> As a developer I want to use boost spirit to get rid of lex and yacc.
> This kicks dependency to lex, flex, yacc, bison or what ever.
> This makes building easier, because only c++ code must be compiled.
> All grammar is inside the code - all c++. No need to learn ll and yy.
